　　PART TWO - GOING TO SCHOOL

　　CHAPTER TWO

　　GOING TO SCHOOL?

　　Later, the servants told me that the doctor had spoken to Mrs. Reed about me. Mrs. Reed had agreed that I should go away to school, Mrs. Reed's servant, Mrs. Abbott, said Mrs. Reed would be happy to send me away. She told me that my father had been a poor man. He married my uncle's sister, Miss Jane Reed of Gateshead. She was my mother. The Reed family was so angry that they never spoke to my mother again. Sadly, only a year after their wedding, both my parents died of a sickness and left me alone when I was only a baby.

　　But many weeks passed and Mrs. Reed did not send me away to school. One day when she was scolding me I asked her a brave question.

　　"Aunt, what would Uncle Reed say to you if he were alive?" I asked.

　　"What did you say to me?" cried Mrs. Reed. Her small, cold gray eyes were afraid. She stared at me as if I knew something she did not know.
